Despite missing practice Saturday with what the Patriots injury report described as an "illness", defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth is expected to travel to Miami with the team for Monday night's game. Haynesworth was listed on the Saturday report as being "questionable" for the season opener. Whether the illness makes Haynesworth a game-time decision or not remains to be seen. The fact he will travel should be seen as encouraging for the Patriots. Given his limited work in the preseason, Haynesworth's endurance Monday night in the South Florida heat would have been something the team kept an eye on even before he fell ill. Now they'll likely be watching even more closely.
